Lullius (St. Lullius) published in 1480 – a technique for systematic exploration of possibilities – predecessor of morphological charts. • 19th century – evolutionary theories by Lamarck and Darwin (biology), Comte and Marks (sociology). Attempts of techno- and socio-Darwinism by Spencer. • End of 19th – beginning of the 20th century - beginning of psychological research in creativity. Creative Imagination by T. Ribot, works of Freud, etc.. • Middle of the 20th century - System approach by Bertalanfy, Brainstorming by A. Osborn; control questions for inventors by Osborn, Thring, Laithwait, etc.. 15 Components of Creative Thinking Adults' Thinking Children's Thinking "TRIZ" Thinking Fear of contradictions, aspiration to avoid them Non sensitiveness to contradictions, absence of aspiration to avoid them in their arguments Love for contradictions, search for contradictions in problems. Understanding that revealing and formulation of an obvious contradiction is a step toward to its resolution Metaphysical approach, consideration the objects, processes and phenomena separately, non systematically Syncretism, aspiration to connect "everything with everything" Systematic approach, aspiration to reveal the connections between remote objects, processes and phenomena, that often look as though they are not connected at all Unorganized combination of various types of deductions, that are often applied erroneously Traduction - type of deduction, erroneous from the classical logic viewpoint, were the deductions are made from the one specific fact to another specific one Deductions by analogue, transition of deductions, ideas, solutions between various systems, with various levels of generality (an organized combination of induction, deduction, and traduction) Combination of logic thinking and natural intuition Natural, inborn ability to produce an intuitive deduction Combination of logic thinking with purposely formed intuition "Laws obedience" - use of intuitively known or verbalized laws "Creation of laws " -spontaneous search and development of intuitive and verbalized laws Purposeful search and development of laws; verbalization of the intuitive laws Attempts to brain storm the difficult problem from one shot, retreat and giving the solving up in the case of failure Substitution of the problem. If a child is not able to solve a problem, he will purposely modify the conditions and the rules and than will solve the problem, that is possible for him to solve Substitution of the problem by another one, that can be solved by certain rules. 16 WHAT IS CREATIVITY? Development of new, interesting, stimulating, great ideas. 17 CREATIVITY PROFILE People who display a high degree of creativity tend to be: Optimistic about the future Open to alternatives Daydreamers Highly curious and observant Independent thinkers Able to recognize and break bad habits Good a turning innovative ideas into practical solutions Adventurous, with multiple interests Constantly exposing themselves to new ideas and information Willing to take risks and unwilling to let fears hold them back Open to new experiences People who take action and make things happen Full of commitment to what they’re doing Nonconformists Daniel Burrus in Technotrends 18 CREATIVITY PADLOCKS I’m not a creative person Be as practical as you can Follow all of the rules That’s not logical Avoid ambiguity at all cost Don’t be foolish Having fun is frivolous That’s not my area To make a mistake is wrong That’s not the right answer I can’t do that Someone else must already be doing this If I share my idea, someone will steal it Thinking—I’m not paid to think Daniel Burrus in Technotrends 19 KEYS TO UNLOCK YOUR CREATIVITY Observation Incubation Intuition Emotion Stimulation Daniel Burrus in Technotrends 20 ?????????? = CREATIVITY What if: We could get cold fusion to work? What if: We discovered silico-based life forms? What if: We could splice a chlorophyll gene into human genetics so that you could feed yourself simply by being exposed to light? What if: We discovered the particle of gravity allowing us to levitate anything” Daniel Burrus in Technotrends 21 WHAT ARE IDEAS? Product of mental activity and imagination Basis of Creativity Result of reason vs. perception Plan of action or path to follow 22 WHAT IS INNOVATION? Implement creative ideas into valuable and profitable solutions 23 FOUR TYPES OF INNOVATION Product Process Marketing Management 24 INGREDIENTS OF INNOVATION Processes Tools Technology Leadership Teamwork Environment 25 INNOVATION “Innovation is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” T.A. Edison “What if: tomorrow doesn’t resemble today?” Daniel Burrus 26 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Products of the human intellect that have economic value. 27 DO YOU RECOGNIZE THESE PEOPLE? The “Know-it-alls” They are arrogant and usually have an opinion on any issue. When they are wrong they get defensive. The “Passives” These people never offer ideas or let you know where they stand. The “Dictators” They bully and intimidate. They are constantly demanding and brutally critical. The “Yes” People Agree to any commitment, yet rarely deliver. You cannot trust them to follow through. 28 DO YOU RECOGNIZE THESE PEOPLE? The “No” People They are quick to point out why something won’t work. Worse, they are inflexible. The “Gripers” Is anything ever right with them? They prefer complaining to finding solutions. Of course you recognize them. They are the people you work with, sell to, depend on, live with. Learn to deal with them quickly. 29 HAVE A _____ DAY.

Design for Worldwide Innovation Increasing the Value of the Intellectual Capital of an Enterprise Principles Ethics Results Family Expectations Commitment to Customers Trust INTEGRATED SOLUTION Ideation + Innovation(Methodology + Tools) = S Competitive Advantage Technical Superiority Greater Market Share Increased Profit Greater Return on Investment Value, Value, and More Value Brief History: Ideation International Inc. Established in November of 1992 as a Delaware corporation Provider of TRIZ-based services and products Merged with leading TRIZ School in Russia (The Kishinev School ) Headquartered in Farmington Hills, MI Includes world’s most experienced group of TRIZ Masters and certified TRIZ specialists Conducted business with over 5000 enterprises worldwide Active in 30 countries and numerous universities Has trained over 250,000 individuals worldwide Conducts continuous research/advancement of TRIZ methodology Copyright 2001 Ideation International Inc. 51 WHAT IS IDEATION I (Ideation)’ methodology guides individuals through a process of systematic innovation. Rooted in the world accumulated technological knowledge, this methodology is a result of extensive ongoing research of over 65 years; over 2 million patents throughout the world and spanning numerous technologies have been screened. Patents describing solutions to difficult technological contradictions were used to define the nature of inventive problems and to classify them. The knowledge represented by these inventions formed the basis for extensive research resulting in development of a methodological core for solving the challenges faced by inventors. Akin to other sciences such as physics and math, The Ideation methodology is represented by a set of regularities, algorithms and tools. Applying this methodology allows an individual to innovate in systematic way through a process which begins with problem identification, categorization and formulation. The methodology’s applicable tools are then utilized to develop innovative Concepts of Solutions which overcome challenges 52 WHAT IS IDEATION D (Discovering) inventive problems is a performance process which can be described on an S curve. Utilization of Ideation’s methodology gives timely indications of the nature of the next paradigm shift, and the conditions under which it will occur. Every organization has its own set of rules and regulations, often implicit, which Establish or define boundaries Tell members of the organization how to behave within those boundaries in order to be successful. Yet it is nature of paradigms that with passage of time they accumulate unsolved inventive problems like ship does barnacles. When this accumulation begins to impede progress and weaken competitiveness, it is time for reworking the paradigm. 53 WHAT IS IDEATION E (Every) organization defaults the future when it has no alternative paradigm through which it can solve its most intractable (inventive) problems. Utilization of Directed Evolution® can highlight potential destructive technologies in in time to suggest and incite appropriate investment countermeasures. Directed Evolution (DE) makes use of the patterns of technological evolution from the Ideation methodology. 54 WHAT IS IDEATION A (And) using these patterns one can determine the likely direction in which a product or a process will evolve (evolution is toward a more “ideal” realization of the product or process). 55 WHAT IS IDEATION T (The) patterns of technological evolution suggest many alternative routes in the evolutionary cycle. When one technology, product or process approaches its maturity, it is vulnerable to destruction by a new technology not so burdened with unsolved problems. A paradigm based on the new technology replaces the old. Strategic planning must predict the occurrence of the shift to the new paradigm well in advance of its arrival. Once the shift occurs, development based on the old ways of solving design, production, and of marketing problems is worthless. Those organizations which lag behind in technological evolution drop out of competition. In order to direct product evolution, management requires concepts which mark the road to ideality. The Ideation methodology provides these concepts promptly and reliably. 56 WHAT IS IDEATION I (Innovation) is an essential element in a life cycle of markets, industries, companies and individuals. By adapting the Ideation methodology, innovation becomes the customary part of life. Individuals become empowered – there is no more waiting for the mental “light bulb” to shine with a bright idea. Companies need not depend on a few extraordinary individuals who innovate based on their personal experience, intuition and luck. 57 WHAT IS IDEATION O (Once) you adopt to the Ideation methodology of Systematic Innovation, the most important invention is continuous reinvention. As the logic of the competition changes, long term successes require new mindsets and behaviors. In an era of unforgiving competition and accelerating change, new products are important for success. By utilizing of Ideation methodology, the life cycles of successful new products grow even shorter. As a result, the management processes and technologies which generate streams of such products become even more valuable. Further, the Ideation methodology eliminates the risks associated with those technologies and processes which are doomed to fail. 58 WHAT IS IDEATION N (No) doubt, Ideation methodology is the key to creating, evaluating and maintaining a “knowledge system”. It reduces the need for raw materials, labor, time, space, capital and other inputs – knowledge becomes the ultimate substitute for these things, and the central resource of an advance economy. And as this happens, its values sores. 59 ZION’S BRAIN TRUST Group A: My closest friends and family Alla Zusman 2. Amir Eliezer 3. Bob Yorio 4. Boris Zlotin 5. Cal Halliburton 6. Chuck Buchannan 7.

But, I-TRIZ has solved that problem without tears like a dream. Furthermore, ITRIZ has dramatically enriched my patent firm’s service portfolio. I-TRIZ comprises four main systematic methodologies, IPS, AFD, DE and CIP, which cover almost all the stages of an innovation activity. Taking advantage of those methodologies, we provide very wide array of unique and effective IP services. This is the greatest strength of my firm remarkably distinguishing us from the other patent firms in Asia.“ 101 Bill Coughlin President & CEO at Ford Global Technologies, LLC Adjunct Professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School “Zion has a genuine heart for education and a real dedication to helping clients to find innovative solutions.” February 18, 2010 Top qualities: Personable, High Integrity , Creative Hired Zion as a Business Consultant in 2003 , and hired Zion more than once ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Dr. Ron Fulbright, Chair, Department of Informatics University of South Carolina Upstate “I started using classical TRIZ over 16 years ago. About 6 years ago I became aware of I-TRIZ and have been using it ever since and I use it almost every day. For the past 4 years, I have entered a state-wide innovative business idea contest and have won five awards including the Grand Prize in 2008. (No other person has won more than 1 award in this contest.) Even though I did not win an award in the latest contest, I placed 2 ideas in the top-ten. I employ I-TRIZ in the development of my ideas for this annual contest and it undoubtedly gives me an edge. As the evolution of classical TRIZ, I-TRIZ represents the distillation of human innovative thought. By encapsulating the entirety of human innovation and making it accessible to the average person, one can stand on the shoulders of the most innovative, creative, and inventive people throughout history. Using it is like having Thomas Edison and Yoshiro Nakamats right there in the room with you!” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Dr. Paul H. King, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus at Vanderbilt University “I have found that IWB (Innovation Workbench) is a useful addition to my student’s toolboxes in their pursuit of their design projects. We have had a good ~ 10 year history of collaboration with Ideation International.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Rene Kapik, Ph.D. Medical Industry Consultant, Certified Master Black Belt Certified I-TRIZ Specialist Ideation has created an outstanding innovative product that assists users in discovering innovative solutions for themselves. Ideation's revolutionary software, called I-TRIZ, has brought clarity to the long-standing mystery of classical TRIZ and simplicity of the tools that once required extended study time to master. I discovered the power of the software five years ago, when I began applying the tools in both my new product development and continuous improvement roles. My teams have demonstrated the remarkable ability of the IWB software tool to facilitate in solving chronic, so-called "unsolvable", and expensive problems by removing barriers to creative thinking and eliminating typical product performance trade-offs that result in suboptimized product functionality. The Directed Evolution software tool allows the user to anticipate the direction of a products evolution. Using this tool, my teams have created a higher level of patentable and profitable "next generation" products and processes, adding millions of dollars in new revenue to my companies' bottom line. ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Paul Seguin, Ph.D., P.E. Strategy and Integration Office U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Disclaimer: This statement reflects the personal views of the author, and does not represent any official position of the U.S. Government or the U.S. Army. I first became acquainted with ITRIZ in 2004. I soon became so enamored with its elegance and efficiency for problem solving that I chose to study it intensively and become a certified ITRIZ specialist. Since then, ITRIZ has become (and remains) my 21st century system of choice for addressing all of my strategic analytical issues: organizational/managerial problem solving, anticipation of unknown failure modes, and identification of future agency challenges. I have also introduced its concepts and techniques to executive leaders at my agency, and to design engineering students at George Mason University, who use it on their inventive engineering challenges. ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Lee I. Fenicle, Director Intellectual Resources Management Creighton University “Using Invention on Demand and Directed Evolution, Ideation’s I-TRIZ staff helped us turn one patented surgical device into a core of products that we used to start a company. Our company has received its second round of venture-backed funding and will be selling its first products in the next few months. Without Ideation’s help we would have licensed our technology and would be waiting for a royalty stream for a very long time. For medical devices, I-TRIZ has proven to be the best way to attack a future market, solve design problems and to get the most out of the intellectual property we have.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Prof. James F. Antaki Professor of Biomedical Engineering (Carnegie Mellon University) Professor of Surgery and Bioengineering (University of Pittsburgh) “I was completely hooked on Triz about half way though the Ideation introductory seminar. Their vast knowledge of the technology can be overwhelming. And this is why Innovation WorkBench is so valuable – it allows the average person to use these powerful principles without needing years of study. And my students have used it gainfully in their capstone design projects. Their slogan, ‘Innovation on Demand’ says it all.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Karel Bolckmans Director Global R&D and Production Koppert BV, Netherlands “I found that I-TRIZ helps you look in directions where traditional creativity techniques would never take you. It helps you cover the entire scope of potential innovations. I-TRIZ is so powerful that it should become part of any education curriculum and the main component of a company’s toolbox for those businesses that are serious about innovation." ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Herbert Roberts Principal Engineer General Electric – Energy “I have been training with the I-TRIZ specialist at Ideation International since 2005. I have progressed in my problem solving skills with each level of training. In my work as a gas turbine engineer at General Electric, I have developed over 90 patent applications in my field based on my skills as an I-TRIZ practitioner. One of these patent applications came directly out of a Directed Evolution training session.

Ideation’s TRIZ scientists offer brilliant and feasible solutions to 95% of such problems, and this is what makes them the best technological think tank in the world. Or, as one of my clients commented on Ideation’s suggestions to his problems: “It’s insane!” ” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Dr. Randi Dikeman Dean of Corporate and Community Development Edgecombe Community College Tarboro, NC “The TRIZ methodologies, facilitated by Ideation’s I-TRIZ software tools, really open your mind to innovations from technical fields you aren’t as familiar with. These new applications of innovation can provide inventive solutions to the tough problems that remain after Lean Six Sigma approaches have made initial improvement.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Charley Ansbach CEO Ansbach & Associates Adjunct Professor, Social Enterprise University of the Pacific “Ideation has created the system-based "magic shop" for making innovation part of any company at every level, every day.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Sadegh Babaii Kochekseraii, PhD CAE/FEA, Virtual Aanlysis Chrysler, Mexico “Wanting to solve this contradiction: How to make TRIZ Complex to be used by the masters and the specialist, BUT Simple to make it usefull to the general working professinals, engineers, scientists. I was lost until I was introduced to IDEATION suite of TRIZ software tools and IWB (Ideation Work Bench) in particular. In IWB, I see a powerful tool where, even if you wish, you can teach yourself to take advantage of true potential of TRIZ in a package useful to masters, specialists and general working professionals alike.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 119 Gail Cresswell Successful Entrepreneur “As a key player in the leadership of his business, I’ve seen Zion make considerable contributions to the overall strategic direction of Ideation by implementing well thought out marketing strategies and plans. It is always a pleasure working with him and his colleagues.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Ash Madan Principal Engineer & IP Lead Ethicon Endo- Surgery, J&J “While the engineers were applying the IWB, the Ideation International scientist used the IWB to produce a number of viable concepts. In live meetings, they demonstrated how the Ethicon Endo-Surgery (EES) engineers could develop such concepts using the IWB. Both the training and support for 3 months produced a final concept that is expected to achieve 90% of cost targets and 100% of volume target. Without Ideation International’s contribution, it was likely for us to have challenge in overcoming our psychological inertia and settle for less than the superior outcome. At EES we plan to use IWB as well as Intellectual Property Software ( IPS) to compete in the new dynamics of the medical device industry. We will not only deliver superior medical devices, but also protect intellectual property for the business.” ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Endorsements "Absolutely brilliant!"

Sources of danger, for example: • High concentration of energy (fuel, electrical power, high pressure, etc..) • Dangerous concentration of hazardous materials • Dangerous systems or devices (nuclear reactor, weapon or things that could be utilized as weapon) • Presence of dangerous people, etc.. 2. High concentration of potential victims or valuable goods, for example: • A full theater when showing a new popular movie or show • Airports, rail road stations, cruse ships, etc.. • Big celebrations, meetings, parades, etc.. 3. Joint presence (coincidental or purposeful) of several danger factors at the same place and/or time, for example: Rail road: when a cargo train with hazardous materials meets a passenger train (especially if it happens on a bridge or in the zone of a high power line) • Oil tanker terminal when the tanker is loading or unloading • Nuclear station in the moments of maintenance or regular tests (Chernobyl catastrophe happened during tests). ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Catastrophe and Terrorism Intensifying Factors A catastrophe or an act of terror outcome could be substantially increased in the following situations: • Presence of mobile sources of danger (energy or hazardous materials), for example, trucks or trains carrying fuel, chemicals, etc.. in crowded areas. • Various avalanche type situations (positive feedbacks or reinforcing loops) capable to turn an insignificant accident into an inferno (power functions catastrophes). ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 System for Possible Undesired Events Monitoring System for Possible Undesired Events Monitoring (SUEM) is computer system provides monitoring positions and movements of various dangerous systems and vulnerable objects with the following capabilities: • Reveal any dangerous coincidences (for example, a gasoline tanker stops near place with stored hazardous chemicals or stadium). • Predict certain potential coincidences ahead of their occurrence (for example, a tanker approaching the river where the fireworks take place, etc..). • Monitor dangerous deviations from normal situations (for example, a tanker changing its route or too many tankers stopped for lunch at the same rest area, etc..). • Alert appropriate organizations or automated devices to prevent potential dangerous coincidences (for example, turn off the ignition of the tank truck deviated from the approved route, etc..). • All changes in situation and possible undesired events, predicts by SUEM are shown on Dynamic Map of Dangers (DMD) ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 System for Possible Undesired Events Monitoring Mobile sources of danger with GPS Receivers Failure Prediction and Elimination Processor Alarm signal Suggestions for failure prevention Suggestions for failure elimination Stationary sources of danger Concentration of people and/or valuable goods Information Database Failure Scenarios Generation Center ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Dynamic Map of Dangers Gasoline tanker Danger zone Threatened area Stadium with high concentration of people Tanker with dangerous chemical substances Tanker with compressed gas ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Failure Prediction and Elimination Processor Failure Prediction and Elimination Processor is a computer system using data about potential dangerous zones (danger map) and signals received from GPS about movements of mobile potentially dangerous objects and capable of the following: • Detect deviation of mobile potentially dangerous objects from approved routes and schedules. • Predict and prevent dangerous coincidences, including concentration of mobile dangerous objects in the proximity of stationary dangerous or valuable objects or highly populated (crowded) areas. • Block if necessary the movement of mobile dangerous objects (for example, turn off the ignition of trucks deviating from the approved routes without legitimate reasons, etc..). ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 Failure Scenarios Generation Center Failure Scenarios Generation Center is a special organization or a task force using the Anticipatory Failure Determination technology and software for the following purposes: • Invent scenarios of potential catastrophes, acts of terror or other large scale undesired events. • Invent ways and possibilities to avoid or reduce possible harm from the “invented” catastrophes; etc., including the ways of (in the order of importance): • Prevention • Early detection • Most effective and expeditions elimination of undesired consequences in case the harmful event took place. • Constant search for and monitoring of new scientific, technological and social information that can become a dangerous resource capable to produce substantial harm. • Conducting an expeditious analysis of past undesired events, their root causes and mechanisms of realization. • Provide urgent problem solving during recovery missions. ©Ideation International Inc. 2012 ANALYZE AND DECIDE - ARE YOU INTERESTED?
